Hi,

I tried to build python-babel to sponsor the upload from what's in the
Git in the DPMT, and it failed to build for me:

# Generate the localedata folder data out of the xml files
# downloaded in debian/repack
scripts/import_cldr.py common
Processing root.xml (Language = root; Territory = 001)

root: Unsupported number system "adlm" in <symbols numberSystem="adlm">

[... lots of lines like this one ...]

root: Unsupported number system "vaii" in <currencyFormats
numberSystem="vaii">

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/import_cldr.py", line 968, in <module>
    main()
  File "scripts/import_cldr.py", line 193, in main
    dump_json=bool(options.dump_json)
  File "scripts/import_cldr.py", line 207, in process_data
    _process_local_datas(sup, srcdir, destdir, force=force,
dump_json=dump_json)
  File "scripts/import_cldr.py", line 435, in _process_local_datas
    write_datafile(data_filename, data, dump_json=dump_json)
  File "scripts/import_cldr.py", line 167, in write_datafile
    with open(path, 'wb') as outfile:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/babel/locale-data/root.dat'

Can you fix this?

Cheers,
